Speaking authentically
"Overdorf has promised a textbook for beginning preachers--and it certainly delivers on that--but it is more. With exercises, examples, sidebars, and bonus articles he takes us beyond the basics. This book will put new preachers on the right track and help old preachers find the track again." --Jeffrey Arthurs, PhD, Robinson Professor of Preaching, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
"Daniel Overdorf, drawing on decades of experience preaching and training preachers, is a trustworthy guide for those learning how to preach. He takes this complex, sacred, and often intimidating task and makes it accessible for beginners, and yet even seasoned preachers will benefit from his wisdom." --Heather Gorman, PhD, Professor of New Testament, Johnson University
